From there, the Indians’ ground game took over. Michael McCormick capped a 40-yard drive with a 4-yard scoring run before Walsh added a 1-yard quarterback sneak in the fourth quarter to seal the win, according to the article. Souderton’s defense held the Rams scoreless in the second half while forcing punts on their first two possessions after the break.
